A place where I organise the chaos of my mind
Life is unpredictable, even though humans are bent on always looking for predictability within systems and functions. This explains why we ask our children questions like “what do you want to be in the future?” Although we don’t expect their answers to be perfect, yet we believe that they should have an idea of what they […]
“People will do whatever they can to find a world in which they can predict the outcomes of their actions and the consequences of those outcomes”, Howard Stevenson wrote in a Harvard Business Review essay of 1995. A profound observation I must say. And over the years our quest for predictability has only increased. We […]
I believe knowledge and understanding is leverage for anyone who has it. I tend to think about a lot of things at different times. My last week’s newsletter made this clear as well. For about 3 days on a roll, I’ve been thinking about the idea of God as a scientist. The truth is that […]

Let’s start with a needed disclosure, I am no relationship expert. Lol. I am only someone who seeks to guide everyone on the path to create generational wealth. I am doing this as I build my own. Valentine is a symbol of love. My girlfriend and I always look forward to it. We like the […]
Our wealth as individuals is intricately tied to our environment. The sooner we realize this, the better for us. In our last instalment, we established that humans do “default to the truth” with an anecdotal account of the Bernie Madoff scandal. If you are reading this, it is either you are a HENRY (High Earners […]
In “Talking To Strangers”, Malcolm Gladwell wrote about our tendency to “default to the truth.” Humans have a proclivity to believe the best in outcomes even when facts say otherwise. The facts are glaring but we fail to admit them. Our tendency to default to truth might be as a result of limited financial education […]
Not up to two weeks ago, I answered the question is too late to buy bitcoin in this article. Then Bitcoin was trading at $30,000. Today it is trading that $42k after the news that Tesla (Elon Musk) invested $1.5B in Bitcoin already. As I noted in the tweet below, great assets are never too expensive […]
